Okechukwu, who is a foundation member of APC, gave his opinion on Sunday in Enugu while reacting to the recent calls for merger trumpeted by Prof. Pat Utomi and former Vice-President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, while commenting on the recent presidential election in Senegal. According to the ex-VON boss, the call lacks proper contextual foundation and dynamism.
recalls that there has been strident calls for merger by Utomi, Atiku and a host of others from major opposition parties while congratulating Bassirou Faye, Senegal’s President-elect, for repeating the feat achieved by the ruling APC in 2015. Okechukwu, who was a member of the merger committee that midwifed APC into a formidable opposition in 2013, said there are many reasons to outrightly dismiss these recent merger calls and the erroneous premises on which they were anchored.
